I think this is a good place to also return errors early if, say, user
requested LINK mode, but that mode is not supported by kernel. Instead
of returning some -ENOTSUP generic error, we can error out early?
Similar for PERF mode, if only legacy is supported, and so on. Similar
for attach_uprobe, of course.

I've been struggling with this "no_link" name a bit. It is quite
confusing considering that from libbpf's API side we do return `struct
bpf_link`. So I'm thinking that maybe "force_ioctl_attach" would be a
better way to describe it (and will be scary enough for people not
knowing what this is about to not set it to true?)
Also, we'll need size_t: 0 at the end to avoid uninitialized padding
issues (like we have in kprobe_opts and uprobe_opts)

shall we call it probe_attach_mode?
also let's elaborate a bit more in doc comment that specifying mode
will force libbpf to use that, but if kernel doesn't support it --
then we'll error out.
